It's been a long hard struggle but we have finally launched our new website Cater4More... we now offer you more products within ranges...more information and more choice. We will still be here at Cater For to help with anything you need but we'll also be behind the new website...but we'll still be just as helpful.
Happy Christmas to all our customers - here's to great things for all in 2013! We'll continue to bring you quality catering equipment for all budgets and all businesses with trade prices, friendly service and next day delivery as standard!
Want to save money on catering equipment for business or home use? Have a look at our lovely December special offers. There's lots of items for entertaining or dining occasions from pate terrines to chafers (to keep food warm at the buffet or table). These chafers are great for restaurants and eateries to expand their range with a breakfast service! There's serious professional catering machines to buckets and mops. Our way of helping you to save money at this time of year - have a look you may see something you need on offer!
So it's December and only a few weeks to go until Christmas my neighbours have made the close look a mix between Disney and the Freddie Kruger set and people seem to be targeted en mass to any retail outlet that's open! So can we escape the commercialism at all in the lead up to the season? I find that when it all gets a bit too much a lovely brisk walk in the countryside is a cure for the soul. Even a walk through a local town or village can be therapeutic - enjoy looking at the shops and decorations without worrying about what you need to buy for the second cousin on your Dad's Mother's side! Take a breath and enjoy the time of year without worrying (you can always do that tomorrow!) Some nice places to go are local country parks or maybe a National Trust site or just the local park and woods. Choose a small town or village near you that has a quaint and relaxed feel even better if there's a lovely tea shop for cake and coffee.
Wednesday 28th November sees the opening day of the BBC Good Food Show Winter at the NEC. This year looks like a great show to attend for amateur cooks and foodies. There's the usual theatres with all the well known celebrity chefs giving us tips. The World Cheese Awards are being judged this year again and if food provenance is something you take seriously there's a Food For Thought Theatre, too. There's book signings, too just in time for a Christmas gift! Talking of Christmas don't forget to stock up with crockery, cutlery, bake ware and table linen to ensure your table settings don't let you down on that special day!
Autumn is a great time to treat yourself to some new crockery and cutlery ready for all that entertaining that goes on over the season. Catering and hospitality businesses can thrive at this time of year with lots of big bookings for family get together meals or the office party or even some wonderful corporate hospitality events. Thinking of dining with friends and guests whether at home or out at the nearest pub or restaurant? It's always great to have lovely crockery and cutlery at the table. Our winter warmer special offers for November include cutlery and crockery, cookware and cooking machines. Commercial catering equipment and food prep machines are included in the November special offers. Available online at Cater For until the end of November why not make the most of our special offers and grab a bargain now!

As the sun sets on British Summer Time we have lots to look forward to despite the early dark nights. In fact this is one of my favourite times of the year. There are so many festivals and fun times ahead from Diwali to Bonfire Night and Halloween to Christmas. It's a time to cuddle up with the curtains drawn and the heating on. A time to gather friends and family about us to enjoy feasts and fun times. Enjoy the colder months with walks through woodlands to see nature's colours at their best or enjoy a quieter visit to a local attraction. Stock up on soups and casseroles and traditional stomach filling puds - forget your bikini body- plenty of time for working it off! And with all those festive events to plan don't forget to buy some new table linen or some luscious new crockery!
Well done and congratulations to all those students who managed to secure a place at university today!Take a look at our range of catering equipment for all your essentials for your kitchen, bedroom and bathroom - and I know you may not want to think about it - cleaning supplies! Good luck!

NEWS October
14th 2010
It’s official
– Autumn has arrived not only with the passing of the equinox on the 23rd September
but also with leaves starting to fall and the mornings becoming cold and dark.
It’s my
favourite time of the year, perhaps it’s because I’m a September baby. I just love
the way nature seems to take over and show it’s truly colourful side from
burnished leaves to frosty trees. Oranges,
reds and browns predominate and the air has a fresh bite to it. My thoughts
turn to long walks through crispy fallen leaves, sitting by the fire and Autumn
celebrations.
We can start
to look forward to warming comfort food to feed the soul and mind. Chilli and
jacket potatoes on bonfire night, pumpkin soup for Halloween and beef and ale
casserole for those colder darker nights; all prepared freshly and quickly in
my combination microwave. Roast dinners around the dining table with family and
friends epitomise the autumnal months for me.
With darker
nights after work I always feel the need to cook nutritious meals without being
in the kitchen for hours on end. Sometimes I prepare meals the night before and
then we can just reheat and serve – making sure I make the most of the shorter
nights. My microwave becomes invaluable at this time of year, especially when I
cheat and use my version of fast food – defrosted from my homemade supply in
the deep freeze.
Eating out
gives more opportunities for enjoying some great seasonal food with menus being
enriched with warming dishes using the best of our harvest festival vegetables.
The catering industry can benefit greatly from using microwave ovens, too, at
this time of year. Tasks can be simplified and completed by less qualified
staff freeing up the chef to devise new and inviting dishes for the menu. With
cooking taking less time and less energy, the kitchen can provide substantial
heart warming menus in a short time with a professional finish to more guests.
Our wide
range of commercial microwave ovens and combination ovens are ideal for
catering outlets such as restaurants, canteens, care homes and cafes. They are
increasingly popular with discerning domestic goddesses, too. For more
information on our range, which is increasing all the time please click here.
So this
Autumn don’t take your microwave for granted – be inspired, be inventive and
why not try out this recipe for starters?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/citrusandhoneysponge_84015/
1 lemon and 1 orange,
110g/4oz caster sugar, 110g/4oz self raising flour, 125g/4½oz soft butter plus extra to grease, 1
free-range egg, 2 tbsp honey plus 1 tbsp extra.
Microwave oven, small ovenproof bowl, grater / zester, food processor and clingfilm. How to make it:
Remove zest from orange and lemon and place with sugar, flour,
butter, egg and honey into a food processor and blend until a smooth sponge
batter is formed. Peel orange and lemon and then slice flesh.
Grease a small oven proof bowl with butter and brush with the extra
honey. Line the bowl with the orange and lemon slices.
Pour the sponge batter into the lined bowl and cover with cling
film.
Place the bowl in a microwave and cook on full power for five minutes,
or until the sponge is cooked through. Enjoy :)
See you soon…. Jane
